Highlight

A resolution of necessity for an improvement district must set forth the general nature of the improvement, the approximate amount the municipality will be obligated to pay, and the amount proposed to be paid by special assessments.
The resolution of necessity and engineer's report for a proposed improvement does not include the final costs of the project, and the actual amount specially assessed may exceed the amount proposed in the resolution and engineer's report.
A special assessment commission has broad discretion in choosing the method used to decide the benefit a property receives from an improvement and to apportion the costs to individual properties.
